@aikimark - no that doesn't work because with string sorting you will get results like 1.12.1.15662 before 1.2.0.9064.

It depends on the source of the data in the array. &nbsp;If they went in as versions, they shouldn't need casting. &nbsp;If they came in as strings, then they will need to be cast as version data, either on input (population of the array) or in the Sort operation (as you've shown).

<div>
It's a good point to make that it may be better to cast the data during population of the array.<br />
I assumed that the data in the array is just strings from the way the question was asked, but that could be incorrect.
